Keep in mind, as with all of the images in this tutorial, you can hold down the control key (Ctrl) on your keyboard, and left-click with your mouse on the image, which will enable you to view the image larger. However, I’ll explain the straight line rotation. After you have the image mostly rotated, you can select the straight line rotation tool, and drag along a straight line, like your horizon. This tool will rotate and crop the image, so that line is portrayed as straight. Try it! Also, for the white balance, check out this article. If you double left-click on an image in the “File Browser,” it will open the image, for further editing. Again, most of the tools are self-explanatory, but I’ll explain two of the exposure options for those who have not done much image editing. Comp., Brightness, and the Contrast sliders, I would be careful how much you adjust, as adjusting these to far, will cause increased noise (graininess) and reduced image quality. The black slider, increases the amount of black in the photograph. This is one of my favorite ways to increase contrast. Also, the Saturation slider adjusts how much color is in the photograph. Now we will move on to the color tab (On the image above, it will be found on the ‘image options – navigation’). Here we can edit the overall color of the image. As you probably have noticed, the color on the image above is pretty bad! That is because when you photograph in RAW, you decide the white balance of the photograph, not the camera. I had not set the white balance for that photograph yet. To set the white balance, I typically set the white balance method to auto. Sometimes this method works better than other times. ![]() Then, if I’m not pleased with the automatic method, I will adjust the ‘temperature’ and ‘tint’ sliders to get the final white balance. Most likely, it will take a little bit of work and experimentation for you to grasp how to use these two sliders, and the colors which they adjust. The final function of RawTherapee that we’ll discuss today is the processing queue. In the navigation tabs at the top, it is called the “Batch Queue.” After making all your edits on a picture and adding the image to the processing que, you can go to the Batch Queue, set the folder location and file format you want to save it in, and click “Start Processing.”Ĭongratulations!
